China's space development can pose military threat: Japan

A Japanese defence ministry think-tank has warned that China's space programme could pose a military threat to other countries.

The review, released on Thursday, also said China is likely to continue its space development programme "as a vital means of achieving military competitiveness against the United States."

"The organisations engaged in China's space development have strong ties to the People's Liberation Army and a considerable number of its satellites are presumably intended for military purposes," the National Institute for Defence Studies said in an annual strategic review of East Asia.

China launched a space probe in October as part of an ambitious exploration programme that has included successes with man-made satellites and manned space flights. The think-tank said the programme had the "effect of raising national prestige."

It added that China's test in January last year to shoot down an object in space -- its own weather satellite -- had fueled military concerns.

"Missiles can destroy not only US artificial satellites but also Japanese intelligence-gathering satellites," the review said.

"The possibility has emerged that the cluster of satellites will come under a great threat when international tension heightens."(From:spacedaily.com)

    引用 freepeople 说过的话:
    中国发展太空计划是必然的,说什么太空威胁,在没有发生之前,中国绝不能因为国际压力而缩减发展太空计划

    目前大部分欧美国家都对中国的发展带有恐惧性,spacedaily.com就是美国航天新闻网,网站的历史还与日本和澳大利亚有关,网站上很多文章都对中国带有偏见,不过,这已经是习以为常的了。
    俗话说“强者自强”,强大才有说话权!
